    My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult.
    For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess（承认）to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred（神圣的） thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog that my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder.
    Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.
    小题1: What is the main subject of the passage?
    A．The relationship between Mark and Steve.
    B．The important lesson Mark learned in school
    C．Steve’s important role in mark’s growing process.

    小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that when Mark confessed to Mrs. Holt, __________.

    C．he felt frightened D．he knelt before her
    小题3:In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother?
    A．Respect for personal property.B．Respect for life.
    C．Sympathy for people with problems.D．The value of honesty.

    A．Respect for living things.B．Responsibility for one’s actions.
    C．The value of the honesty.D．Care for the property of others.

    A pair of pandas being lent by China to Japan was set to arrive in Tokyo's Ueno Zoo in the Japanese capital and raising hopes that the animals may help improve bilateral (双边的)ties.
    Bi Li and his female partner, Xian Nu, both 5, were  due  to  touch  down at  Narita international Airport in Tokyo on a flight from Shanghai.
    Together with their keeper, the pair were transferred from Chengdu, to Shanghai on Monday morning, said Li Desheng, deputy chief of the Wolong Nature Reserve.
    The pair, which are young adults, will be the first pandas at Ueno Zoo since April 2008, when the institution's beloved Ling Ling died.
    Ueno Zoo had spent 90 million yen ($1.1 million) installing under-floor heating, a playground with a sandbox and landscaping.
    The pair will dine on rare bamboo from the central Japanese mountain of Izu that is similar to what they are used to at home in China.
    The zoo's first pair of pandas arrived in 1972, marking the normalization of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
    Expectations are running high that the pandas that will stay in Japan for 10 years will boost the local economy and improve troubled relations between Tokyo and Beijing.
    Business and tourism officials expect them to bring in around 20 billion yen a year, or 10 percent of the local economy.
    In 1993, a year after Ling Ling arrived in the zoo, an additional 1 million people visited the attraction. Visitors have fallen to around 3 million a year from 3.5 million since Ling Ling's death.
    Since a boat collision near the Diaoyu Islands in September, Sino-Japanese relations have been at a low point. The media outlets expressed hope that bilateral relations will improve with the arrival of the pandas.
    小题1:The passage mainly tells us         .    
    A．a pair of pandas was lent to Japan by China
    B．the pair of pandas from China brought hope of improving Sino-Japanese relations
    C．the normalization of diplomatic ties between China and Japan
    D．sino-Japanese relations have been at a low point since the Diaoyu Island incident
    小题2:en the pair of pandas arrives in Japan,         .   
    A．an additional 1 million people will visit the zoo
    B．they will eat what they are used to from China
    C．they will stay there for 10 years
    D．they will be the first pandas at Ueno Zoo
    小题3:According to the passage, we know that Ling Ling stayed in Japan for about         .  
    A．5 yearsB．10 yearsC．15 yearsD．20 years
    小题4:What does the underlined phrase "touch down" probably mean ?   
    A．take offB．landC．come upD．meet
    小题5: The arriving of the pandas is expected to bring several positive effects except         . 
    A．boosting the local economy
    B．improving the troubled relations between China and Japan
    C．bringing in around 20 billion yen a year
    D．attracting 3.5 million visitors from China

    Almost all theme park accidents can be prevented. Here, based on coverage of theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.
    If you are visiting with a child, take a moment to explain the ride to them, and tell them what they should do. They are depending upon you to keep them safe. Set a good example for them by following the rules of the park, and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules, too.
    Tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps, and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle. Make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride, too. And never put a crying child on a ride. If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed. Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do. 
    Young kids can’t keep an adult’s pace in a theme park. Let them take plenty of breaks.
    “Kids get tired,” said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four. “Tired kids make parents even more tired. And tired kids and parents may get hurt — physically and emotionally.” He advises that parents plan a mid-day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds. “You will see cranky families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.”
    小题1:The second paragraph tells readers that ______.
    A．children should be trained to be more independent
    B．adults should tell children some safety rules firstly
    C．adults should set a good example to conduct well in a theme park
    D．there is a danger to take young children to visit a theme park
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT right for children who are taking the rides?
    A．They cannot put their hands away from the grab bar.
    B．They are forbidden to put their knees or feet out.
    C．They should ask adults’ permission first to get on a ride.
    D．Without adults’ okay sign, children shouldn’t get off a ride.
    小题3:If your child begins to cry just when he is going to take a ride, you should ______.
    A．tell him to be relaxedB．make him share your interest
    C．give up the present activityD．encourage him to be brave
    小题4:We may infer from Matt Johnson’s words that ______.
    A．he doesn’t like to visit a theme park with his children
    B．parents with many children may be tired of visiting a theme park
    C．not all the families are relaxed or happy when they visit a theme park
    D．visitors should arrange everything carefully before starting
    小题5:What is the meaning of the underlined word “exit” in the third paragraph?
    A．等待B．发现C．进入D．离开

    Animals seem to have the sense (本能) to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need．It has been demonstrated that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant（香的） flavor (味道) was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rats did seem to prefer it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water．In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were．
    In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria（自助） feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them．They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in．We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet．
    So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them．Apparently, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could．Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established（长期养成的）habits．Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs．So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them．
    53．The expression “the habit” in paragraph 1 refers to drinking water which _______．
    A. has no smell    B. is tasteless    C. has vitamins   D. is flavored (有味道的)
    小题1:According to the passage, adults eating habits differ from those of babies because _______．
    A．adults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their health
    B．adults usually cannot resist (抵制) the temptation (诱惑) of various delicious foods
    C．adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs
    D．adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns
    小题2:The author implied in the passage that most of us _______．
    A．eat a balanced diet
    B．choose the food that is of nutrition
    C．have the habits influenced by the surroundings
    D．like to eat the food with a fragrant flavor．
    小题3:As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that _______．
    A．both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet
    B．both prefer flavored food and drink
    C．both have the same eating patterns
    D．both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors

    Liu Hui is very excited. The students in a school in Shanghai will go to the USA with his parents during the Spring Festival.
    “Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
    Nowadays, Chinese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
    Nearly 7 million Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路线).
    By the end of 2002, Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
    The top 10 places included Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
    “More and more Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak（高峰） in European tours.”
    Another consideration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association（CCA，中国消费者协会）offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
    “Price should not be the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
    Zhang’s association dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies（旅行社） last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
    Travellers were warned to look carefully at their contracts with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保险).
    小题1:How many reasons are given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people are traveling abroad more today?
    A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
    小题2:According to the passage, what is the biggest problem Chinese travelers face when going overseas?
    A．Choosing the best travel agent.
    B．Deciding the best way to get to the places they want to go to.
    C．Traveling to Europe.
    D．Cost.
    小题3:According to the passage, what seems to be the most common result of choosing a bad travel agency?
    A．People buy more souvenirs than they had planned to.
    B．People spend more money than they had planned to.
    C．People go to different places than they had palnned to.
    D．People complained more than they had planned to.
    小题4:The underlined part “random changes” probably means that         .
    A．the travelers agreed with the changes.
    B．the travel agency didn’t make any changes.
    C．the travel agency refused to changes the routes.
    D．the travel agency changed the routes or time without following the original plan.

    Everybody hates rats．But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan，Los Angeles，Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends．
    What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue（救援） dogs. Why? Because they can smell people．Dogs save lives．They help rescuers to find living people．But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces．So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat．
    How does it work? First，the rat is trained to smell people．When this happens，the rat's brain gives a signal（信号）．This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals．When the rat's brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive．The rat has smelled that person．
    Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats are better．Christian Linster at Cornell University—New York says，“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around．Rats are good at that．” Rats can also see in the dark．They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs，and unlike robots，they don't need electricity!
    The “rat project” is not finished，but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says，“It would be fantastic．A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe．” Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building（but only after an earthquake，of course）．
    小题1:In the world earthquake capitals，rats will become man's best friends because they can _________．
    A．take the place of man's rescue jobs
    B．find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
    C．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
    D．get into small spaces
    小题2:From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by_________．
    A．the noise made by the ratB．the rat's unusual behavior
    C．the signal sent by the radio on the rat's backD．the smell given off by the person
    小题3: In doing rescue jobs，_________．
    A．rats smell better than dogs
    B．dogs don't need to be trained to smell people
    C．robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
    D．rats can see in the dark and smaller than robots
    小题4: Rats have all the following advantages except that_________．
    A．they are more fantastic than other animalsB．they are less expensive to train than dogs
    C．they don't need electricityD．they are small and can get into small places

    They are among the 250, 000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that makes up 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed．A storm of anger boils up at the government-sponsored （政府资助的） youth center, even among those who are continuing their studies．
    “We study for jobs that don’t exist,” Nicollets Steggerda, 23, said．
